Dell Laser Printers are uniquely identified by their Service Tag and Express Service Code. Using the Service Tag and Express Service Code on the Dell Support Site provides you the drivers, software and manuals specific to your printer.

The Service Tag sticker on your E525w printer is located inside of the side door on the printer (Figure 1).

Installing Older Windows Printer Drivers in Windows 10 - When there are no Windows 10 drivers for your printer, this article provides an alternative means of installing drivers from a previous version of Windows in compatibility mode, that may work in the meantime, some or all of the printer functionality may still work with the version of Windows installed on your computer.

After you have printed a test page, it is recommended that you set-up your wireless router to assign the same IP address to your printer, all the time. This will make it easier to connect consistently with your printer.

For more information refer to the Dell Knowledge Base article that matches the Operating System on your computer:

Use this section when you want to connect a computer to a printer that is already connected to a existing wireless network and set-up to print.

Check the screen of your printer for any error messages. When an error message is present, resolve this issue first. Search our Dell Support site for the error message. To get the best results from your search include the name of your product and the full error code as example, "E525W Misfeed Jam 075-100", rather than simply "Misfeed Jam".

Make sure you computer is connected to the Internet.

Notes:

The E525W only supports the 2.4GHz frequency, make sure that the 2.4GHz band on your router is enabled. When you are unsure, contact the manufacture of the wireless router. To make sure the wireless adapter in your computer can communicate on the 2.4GHz frequency, refer to the Configure the Wireless Adapter Settings for Optimal Performance tab in Dell Knowledge Base article I am having issues with a slow connection, getting or staying on the Internet..

Look for the IP address listed in the Wireless Network section of the report.

Confirm a valid IP Address for your network is listed, typically this will be in the 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x range. When the address appears valid (169.254.x.x), continue to Step 6 or you can refer to Dell Knowledge Base article Test the Network Connection to see if your computer can communicate with the printer.

Insert the Software and Documentation disc that came with disc or download from web.

The software will look for your printer and may take a while.

Select Connect.... I want to connect this computer to the printer.

Under Choose a Method of Connection, select Wireless or Ethernet Connection, and then click Next.
